[QUOTE="Gianluca72, post: 3034808, member: 8309"]no, it's wood, this is 100% sure, in the hole there are splinters of wood. Whether it is wood you can also see it from the top of the head and in the areas where the gilding has been lost, as well as in the underlying part of the base. I believe it is old, seeing it live, I believe that the face and part of the head was wrongly? burned, and then they painted it gilded to diminish the burn.[/QUOTE]
